Spring Semester Opening Week Parking Tips!

Students,

With the beginning of classes next week, vehicle traffic
will be at very high levels.

Parking on campus
requires a parking permit at all times. Please purchase your permit
today. Permits are active at the time of purchase. However, once it is received
it is to be displayed at all times.

We thank you for your patience during this high-volume
period. We understand that parking may pose a challenge during the first few
weeks of the semester, but please be assured that we are working diligently to
provide ample service to students, faculty, and staff.

The following are helpful hints that may assist you in
making your parking decisions before entering the campus:

Become familiar with the University’s Parking Map before coming
to campus, as we have instituted some changes to our surface lots.

Generally, the lots in the core of the campus
are at full capacity from 9:00 am to about 4:00 pm, Mondays-Thursdays. If your arrival to campus will be after
9:30am and before 3:00pm on Mondays-Thursdays, we strongly suggest that
you drive directly to Lot 60 and 61 and take a shuttle bus directly to the core
of the campus. We find that students who park in these lots and take a shuttle
bus to University Hall arrive to their classes just as quickly as those who
park in CarParc Diem and walk to class.

Follow us on Twitter @MSUParking.
We provide regular updates to provide you with the most accurate reporting.

Download the Parker App. We provide a live feed of
lot closures and space availability to better assist with maneuvering about the
campus. Accessing the App will assist with making parking decisions before
coming to campus.

Our shuttle buses are now equipped with Nextbus
technology. Real-time bus arrival information is available via the website or
your mobile device for buses that service your shuttle stop. Visit the Shuttle Services website for more
information on shuttle schedules
and use Nextbus
to help navigate the MSU Shuttle System.

Consider leaving your car at home and try using
public transit. MSU is situated between two train stations and is served by
multiple bus lines; this makes public transit an easy and environmentally-friendly
choice. As an added incentive, full-time students are eligible for a 25%
discount on monthly NJTransit passes!

Try carpooling. Use MSU's Carpool Directory to connect with
other members of the community who can share rides to and from campus.

Please note that this congestion is not consistent
throughout the year, traffic and parking settle into a routine after the
initial few weeks of the semester. If
you have any questions or concerns, please contact us parking@mail.montclair.edu
